Police praise Supporters

West Mercia Police have praised supporters for their good behaviour last Saturday when 1500 Shrewsbury Town fans came to Hereford to watch the A49 derby match at Edgar Street.

"There was one arrest related to the match and that was for an offence under Section 5 of the Public Order Act," said Superintendent Charlie Hill, Territorial Policing Unit Commander in Herefordshire.

"As a result of this a 30-year-old man received a Fixed Penalty Notice.

"There were a significant number of officers working on the day and our operation went well. However, the fans themselves behaved extremely sensibly and were a credit to both clubs.

"We had assistance from British Transport Police on the day and that proved very helpful in terms of policing the rail network and helping to ensure the entire day passed off peacefully."
